Overview

  The Concanavalin A (Con A) Solution (500×) is a ready-to-use solution of Con A in aqueous buffer. Con A is isolated from the Jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis. It is a lectin that binds alpha-D-glucose and alpha-D-mannose moieties found in various glycoproteins, glycolipids, and sugars and is a potent leukocyte mitogen. This reagent is intended for use in in vitro activation of human and mouse leukocytes.

Key Components:
